Hi Gail, I own a Schott wool peacoat in size 36. It fits well in the chest, but i little short in sleeves. I'm looking at this vintage jacket on ebay, It's a 40, do you think it would fit well for riding. From reading your other posts I believe it to be either a 156 or656. Thank you. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vtg-50s-60s-Schott-Brown-Thick-Leather-Cafe-Racer-Style-Biker-Jacket-40-/160951186466?pt=US_CSA_MC_Outerwear&hash=item2579703422
